Down down down town, east side of the riverBowery boys are living off the street There stands a stranger all dressed in black He`s looking for someone - he`s gonna knife `em in the back Hit man, G-man, con man, watch it man, he might be from the CIA Sneaky Pete`s using his feet, getting off the street `cos He`s got something to hide

[Chorus]Danger, there`s a stranger Intruding in your own backyard But stranger, there`s a danger Don`t come across nobody hard

So tough mixing it rough down in Harlem There`s no honky boys for miles aroundBut there`s that stranger all dressed in white He`s looking for someone He`s gonna show `em the light, yeah He`s gonna show `em the light, oh yeah

Don`t feel safe using the face of Fifth Avenue Pin stripe suits ain`t no disguise if you`re not a man that`s true Hit man, G-man, con man, watch it man, he might be from the CIA Sneaky Pete`s using his feet, getting off the street `cos He`s got something to hide
